Failure was an influential American rock band (often also classified as alternative rock and/or space rock) that was activefrom 1990
to 1997,during which they recorded and released three critically-acclaimed albums. They are often comparedto other hard rock
bands from that timethat were similarly labeled as "alternative", such as Nirvana, Soundgarden, orBush, but are distinguished by
their meticulous attention totextural sonic detail, inventive use of guitar effects and signalprocessing, and the overall expansive
sound design of their later albums. Althoughmainstream success narrowly eludedthem, they still have many dedicated fans, many
of whom are fellow musicians and peers within the musicindustry.
